Assumptions |
At the operational level, experiential
learning works on the following assumptions:
- People generally have more resources and are more capable than they think they are.
- A small heterogeneous group is capable of successfully coping with significant physical and mental challenges.
- Learning is more successful when problems are presented rather than solutions or methodologies.
- Stress and shared adventure serve as important catalysts in the discovery process.
- The single most important factor that determines a person's future is his idea of self.
- Significant, long-lasting learning can be achieved through an intensive, short-term experience.
